Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth
What does it mean to be called and chosen? We are both called and chosen to be the faithful of God. This calling is from God. He places an understanding within every heart to know Him. It says in Romans “For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them”. This calling continues through Jesus Christ where scripture says “But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”. This is all the work of God. Paul said “what manner of persons ought we to be given this great out pouring of Love from God”. We do have a choice to humbly live and bring honor and glory to Him. The choice we make lasts for eternity.
Matthew 22:14
For many are called, but few are chosen.
Revelation 17:14
and those with him are called and chosen and faithful
Luke 18:7
And will not God give justice to his elect
Romans 1:6
including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ
Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose
Ecclesiastes 8:12
Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him. But it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God
